Alec Baldwin’s Involuntary Manslaughter Trial Begins: What to Expect

The trial of actor Alec Baldwin, who was charged with involuntary manslaughter following the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie Rust, has now begun. Baldwin, who was reportedly holding the gun that discharged and resulted in the filmmaker’s death, has denied pulling the trigger and being aware of live rounds in the gun.

Despite the ongoing trial, Baldwin announced a new family reality show last month called “The Baldwins.” Fans were concerned that the program would be canceled amid the legal issues surrounding the actor, but sources have confirmed that the show will still premiere in 2025. TLC has already factored the trial into their storylines and production, and the show will provide viewers with a glimpse into the life of Alec and his wife Hilaria Baldwin with their seven children.

Jury selection for Baldwin’s trial began on Monday, with twelve jurors and four alternates ultimately chosen after some technical difficulties. The trial is expected to continue, with Baldwin facing the charges of involuntary manslaughter. Additionally, Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who handed the gun to Baldwin, has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for her involvement in the shooting.

As Baldwin prepares to face the legal proceedings, the future of his reality show remains on track, offering fans a unique look into the actor’s personal life amidst the ongoing legal saga. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
